As It Happens (Finn)

✨ Finn (As It Happens) ✨
11 y/o OTTB Gelding | 15.3–16h

Finn is now happily enjoying life as Paityn Thomann‘s lease-to-own partner, and will be her 4-H horse for both English and Western disciplines! 💛🐴

He’s personable, eager to please, and continues to shine in dressage and on the trails. Over the last 6 months, he’s been carefully developed in dressage, consistently scoring in the 60s at USDF Intro levels and earning Reserve Champion in the 2025 NODA Summer Schooling Series – Intro Level. He’s schooling Training Level movements, exploring First Level, and some Second Level work. Judges frequently comment on his lovely gaits, soft bridle, and willing attitude.

✨ Highlights

• Up-to-date on vaccines, dental, farrier, and deworming
• Currently shod (may try barefoot soon)
• Soft, responsive, and easy off the leg
• Calm, confident, and safe on trails
• Beginner-friendly yet fancy enough for a progressing rider
• Fully sound and healthy, with a minor cosmetic blemish from a past track or pasture injury

Finn’s natural movement, steady mind, and work ethic make him a joy to work with every day. He’s a wonderful example of the OTTB transformation journey at Suffield Stables, showing versatility, confidence, and joy under saddle.

💫 Fun fact: Finn continues to be a star at the barn and in the ring, inspiring other riders and demonstrating the success possible with careful, kind training!
